Becky, also known as "the photographer" has a wardrobe full of FAR too much black clothing, while also being partial to a splash of leopard print. She is happiest when drinking copious amounts of frothy coffee.

So you want to know more? Oh, go on then ...

I don't have one of those whimsical childhood photography stories where I'm from a family of creatives, it's possible I'm a cuckoo, as I'm pretty-much the only creative in my family.
 
I've always been drawn to arts and crafts as a kid, many years ago, which meant I ended up working as a graphic designer for the past two decades. As with most designers I picked up a camera on a whim… and the rest, as they say, is history…
Living right by the beautiful Hampshire Coast and the New Forest National Park has allowed me to take this hobby I love and turn it into a career. I love capturing people and moments, and thanks to the support and belief of some amazing people and businesses around me I've been able to hone and practice my skills.
 
I adore photographs that are vibrant and colourful (like my hair, but unlike my black wardrobe!), full of life – memories that you'll cherish in years to come.

Things that bring me joy

Hybrid Under the Bridge London Gig Music Photography
Music

I love to listen to

Trance (like old skool 90s), Drum and Bass, Electronic Music. My favourite band/producers are Hybrid (and I got to photograph them in 2021 and 2022)

I will listen to almost anything, depending on my mood - except country!

eatPIZZA-Winter21-056
FOOD, DRINK & LIFE

My favourite...

Foods are Pizza and Curry - good job I have the amazing Rivaaz and eatPIZZA as clients.  I also LOVE coffee and Spiced Rum - pass the Kraken.

Which is why it's a good job that I'm also a fitness instructor for Freedom Leisure New Forest.  I've been coaching Indoor Cycling for 10 years, I'm a gold level Schwinn Coach as well as an Advanced Les Mills Body Combat instructor.

TRAVEL

Seeing the world...

My favourite trip was definitely  Pripyat and Chernobyl, where we stayed overnight, as well as visiting Independence Square during the 2014 Revolution.

Obviously since then, the beautiful country of Ukraine has been subjected to horrific times, if you'd like to help the crew at Ukraine - UK Aid make regular trips and all aid is transparently distributed by the volunteers.

Sith, obviously, I'd always choose chaos! Also, Darth Maul is a bad ass... Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?  If you have time, let me tell you about Revan... (Yes, I put Sith in the 2021 census)

Obviously, I also love Harry Potter as well as Star Wars .. so as you can guess,  I definitely belong in Syltherin!

I LOVE Formula 1.  I'm firmly team Papaya, and can often by found editing wrapped up in a McLaren or Lando Norris hoodie!

I have 6 Tattoos. A selection of Super Mario that will become a half sleeve and a Totoro back tattoo.

My Top 5 Films of all time are - in no order: The Empire Strikes Back. The Martian. Clueless. Rogue One.  My Neighbour Totoro.

My Top 5 Albums of all time - again in no order:  Hybrid - Wider Angle. The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation. Above & Beyond - Tristate. Metrik - Ex Machina and Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Shoals.
